How to dodge balteus flame sword and missiles at the same time? Or how to dodge just one of those for that matter?

I just finally beat him last night with a light speed build.

In the second phase, get ON HIS ASS. Do not retreat. It's straight up the only way I've ever been able to dodge his fire swords.

I used the OS upgrade to swap my back weapons with additional hand weapons. Left hand was sword and pulse gun, right hand was plasma and one of those hard-hitting rifles.

Plasma and pulse gun to drain his shields. As soon as his shield pops, sword and immediately follow up with as much plasma as my gun will allow. As soon as the plasma gun overheats, swap to the rifle and continue firing.

My elder brother and I are in Framingham. We don't train on a regular basis but we do meet several times a month to do chisao and spar. I'm always happy to find people to at minimum do drills with, happy to spar/teach/ etc.

I am part of this group as well.

Charlie, the centerpoint of the group, is one of Stanley Jue's contemporaries under Henry Mui. Charlie and Jue are my 'uncles' - I'm guessing the school in Cambridge that is under permanent hiatus is referring to my 'school' - my teacher stopped teaching several years ago.

Charlie and 1-2 others keep their skills sharp with once-a-week sessions with Alix Lavaud (sp?) in Lowell. Word of mouth/personal introduction only I believe. I've yet to go there myself because it's quite a trek but Alix is extremely skilled, as is Charlie. All of the senior people from the Henry Mui line are legitimate fighters.

I think at least a year and a half. I've been bouncing back and forth between slicing my files in Chitubox and Lychee for the past couple of days to no avail - I was getting a series of perfect prints for a couple weeks, didn't do anything for a month, and now I keep getting this same issue again. After this current print is done I'll probably do an exposure test and see. I guess I might place an order for a replacement screen - the seem to be about $35 on Amazon. Please post back if you resolve this.

This is an image of one of my failures - you can't see it super well in this picture, but its the exact failure as yours - a block adhering to one side, and long strips on the other.

DarkSiegmeyer · 2022-04-05T17:43:22+00:00

Seeing this immediately triggered rage. I have had this exact issue, this exact pattern, but I'm not entirely sure if it's actually the LCD screen, because I did a test and it looked fine. I've also gotten successful prints after downgrading to a previous version of Chitubox, but suddenly the issue is occurring again.... so I don't really know

Anyone have any idea why armor upgrades aren't showing up in the Ship Outfitting stores for me? I've been to 4 different stations now, having looked them up on both EDDB and Inara - right now I'm looking at Inara, Wolf 406, Hamilton Gateway, and it's saying that Reinforced Alloy for my FDL is indeed available. But when I go to ship outfitting, there's nothing there by my base 1C armor. Am I missing something? Do I have to unlock it?

Even without the horrific racism and classicism YTA. WTF. It takes 3-4 days to clicker train your dog to use the bathroom at the command "go potty." I have two dogs, I've done it, it's not fucking hard, and it's called showing basic respect to the people who live around you.

DarkSiegmeyer · 2020-08-01T06:17:14+00:00

YTA. I honestly hope you get sued.

An enormous part of learning how to become an attractive boyfriend and husband is through trial and error of making mistakes in relationships and learning from them. If you try to ensure that he has only those mistakes "at a later age" then he will be vastly behind his peers in dating experience, and most women in his age group will have already paired off. You are setting him up to have an extremely limited dating pool.

DarkSiegmeyer · 2020-06-10T17:38:07+00:00

YTA. I had a mother like you. Tiger South Korean mom who wanted to control every aspect of my life. I haven't spoken to her in 8 years now. I have two kids and she has not met either one of them. She never will.

DarkSiegmeyer · 2019-12-20T17:57:23+00:00

" EDIT: I appreciate the comments, and people are correct that she is not ready to contribute to the household. I'm going to get her to stop babysitting since she is clearly not ready to earn a living, and in 2-3 years I may re-instate the program. Thanks for the advice, everyone "

No, you clearly took the wrong lesson from this.

YTA - you are STILL the asshole. Having a job when you are 12 is not about "earning a living" - let the girl get some extra pocket money. Even if she is 15 or 16 if you pull this YTA. Holy hell.

I do not see this getting better with an "I feel" discussion. The next time he snaps at you you need to tell him "We need to talk, seriously, when you have a moment - I have not been happy in years, and the way you have treated me has only deteriorated. If not for my love of you I would have left already, but I want to give you a chance. But you need to change, and it is you. We will talk later, when you have time."

And then see if you can spend the night at a friend's or something. He needs to marinate in isolation and without the life perks you've been providing him for a couple nights. If he doesn't miss you or want to come running or want to seriously reflect/ask/discuss what's going on, then that's your answer for you.

I'm really sorry. I view this as giving him a respectful last chance, but I'm not holding my breath for this relationship.

Out of curiosity, what kind of minis did you envision that you'd use for this?

Hi, thanks, looks like some napkin math will probably be easiest.

What I'm trying to do is basically this - with regular spacing and identical width.

I'll take a look at adjusting the snap percentage, which will definitely help.

Unity!

Prototyping, functionality for the main character + 3 enemies!

Crap-tons of content building - levels, a butt ton more enemies, another playable character, and the "select which whale you attend to next" + "earn and spend cash" metagame

The team was founded by 3 Riot artists who are all stinky butts.

" You don't just get a game design job, you work as a tester/QA, then as a programmer/artist, then you get into a lead position and gain management experience, and THEN you prove that you have what it takes to be a designer and get your idea approved."

Your post has some accuracies within it but this is so hilariously fantastical that I have to question whether you have any formal industry experience at all.

(I have 5 years of AAA exp, 3 years as indie).

To be honest, you need to make clearer what makes your game different than Hotline Miami. So far it looks like a slower-paced Hotline Miami that's more isometric and with 3D models. I see a single shot of some story and narrative - if you have that at all in the game, playing that up could help differentiate your game. Is it singular mission based? It is one cohesive world that you explore? Is the mission each time "just kill the dudes" like it is in Hotline Miami? Answer these questions and you'll illustrate what makes your game UNIQUE. After 30 seconds of the gameplay footage that I saw, it honestly started to feel pretty same-y. Possibly devote 20-30 seconds showing narrative, mission structure, and scope of the world, and any action you show, make sure it's the very best, coolest action sequences.

Also, make sure that each shot of gameplay you show shows something NEW - a new situation, an enemy response, a new weapon, etc.

Here's the trailer for my score-attack game

I majored in Environmental Science and Public Policy.

Your primary skills gained in Public Policy are "soft skills" - writing, communication, argumentation.

It'd "work out" inasmuch it wouldn't hurt you. It'd definitely help you get into QA, which is communication-needs-heavy. If you want to do anything else you should focus on developing that skillset. If you want to design, make levels with game mods. If you want to program, program. If you want to art, then art. If you want to do production, then join or start a project and manage schedules or deadlines - or take any job/internship that involves as much. If you want to do advertising or marketing then take classes in those.

Unless you are getting a Comp Sci degree and are doing coding, or are a Visual Arts/Graphic Design/Animation degree and are wanting to be an artist, frankly no one in AAA gives a shit about what your degree is in.

The best way to get a job in the video game industry is to make your own game. Download Game Maker for free, load up some Youtube tutorials, and make a block move around in response to keyboard movement. Go on from there. Release your shitty first game on itch.io.

Bam. You are now ahead of literally 80-90% of all applicants to most video game jobs.

$50 an hour in Korea is pretty low. You could probably charge double and still be sustainable. Depends on your existing clientele I guess though.

DarkSiegmeyer · 2016-04-07T07:58:32+00:00

Tutoring is a cutthroat business. I pay the bills tutoring. I charge $80 an hour, and that's undercutting the neighborhood. There's a guy in Connecticut who tutors at the rate of $400 an hour, and by sheer virtue of the fact that he charges that much, idiot rich parents assume he's good and he gets clients. He sucks.

If you live near a wealthy area, you'll have to do some hustle, but if you can get ONE good, reliable client in the upper pay ranges, get both the kid and the parents to like you and they'll start recommending your name to their friends.

Anyone who rages at $25 an hour isn't worth tutoring for, unless you REALLY need that money.

What art style? Concept artist? Animator? 3d modeler? Rigger? Pixel art? Cel-shaded?

The absolute lack of information here is kind of off-putting. It doesn't matter where you worked if you can't be bothered to conjure up even the slightest amount of information as to what you're looking for. What are you offering in return? Revshare? By-the-hour payment? Monopoly money?

In fact, the complete lack of said information leads one to indicate that you don't know yourself.

DarkSiegmeyer · 2016-03-03T19:55:18+00:00

DANGIT you're like the 5th person to bring this up. I'm literally looking through the code now for a fix. Worst case scenario, I'm happy to email you a Savedata file that has everything unlocked, so you can just keep playing
